A few local opportunities for service on Martin Luther King Day are listed below. All residents are encouraged to find a way to utilize their own talents to give back on this day, January 15, 2018, and throughout the year!

WHAT: Join volunteers, members and friends of The Perfecting Church and Sicklerville United Methodist Church as we join forces to lift our voices in song and our hands in service to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by gathering with our neighbors to answer, according to Dr. King,"Life's most persistent and urgent question, 'What are you doing for others?'" The day-long celebration begins at Sicklerville United Methodist Church with a Volunteer Kick-Off where guests will have breakfast, preview Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s “I Have A Dream” speech and move into action inspired by a unifying address and song selection to move them to lift their voices and hands in service of others. Guests will then depart for one of a variety of community service projects throughout Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Philadelphia counties.
